Found these two Tenyo puzzles.Both puzzles have the exact same 13 pieces. Yet the one on the left has 65 possible solutions while the one on the right only has two. Interesting how adding a simple pattern negates almost all possible combinations.

Found this odd Tenyo item a little while ago. Thought it was a typical Art Bank but turns out there was no coin slot on top. Took me a while to figure out what it was not having these things around my house at all.

I have the Mickey Double World from Disneyland but I haven't been able to find any of the original ones anywhere. Saw one in an auction once but it ended up going for big $$$. I was a bit surprised by that as I didn't realize they were that rare.

It's a jigsaw puzzle that can be recreated to assimilate whatever picture you upload into the included software. This is the Hasbro version, and it is credited to Kenneth C. Knowles, Mark Setteducati, and Tenyo Co., Ltd. The beauty of it is that a single puzzle can be created, and recreated, over and over again.

There is also a Japanese version with 520 pieces (which I ordered, and am now looking forward to receiving).

I already have the 300 piece American version. It's pretty darn cool. Andy (from The Jinx blog) turned me on to the idea, for which I am most grateful.
